[QUOTE="fermerboy, post: 7397079, member: 190"] I've a 14ft Tri axle Ifor stock trailer here, in fact near everybody round here has the same, hardly see a 12ft twin axle now. The brakes are smaller on the tri axle, thought the wheels were the same but could easily be higher ply. I personally would go three axles again, rides very well, and stable too. My father in law has a 12ft DP120 with baby wheels underneath and its a dangerous swingy trailer compared to mine. The big problem with a 14ft box is that you can't fill it legally. Think mine is about 1300kg empty leaving a legal load of 2200kg, The trailer can take more no bother and mine does about the farm, often run with 4 suckler cows, or 8 yearling Ch x stores which would be grossing nearer 4500kg. The 3 axles sit fine with that on it, don't think I'd like the box so full on a twin. I drag mine with a Hilux which compounds the legal weight issue. Think the extra axle only adds about 100kg so not much gain by going for a twin. If staying within the law is an issue by a 12ft one, it will hold all you need. [/QUOTE]
